Comments
The ''plain stem'' wine glass of the 18th century has a strength of character unequalled by many of its contemporaries. With an amazing array of sizes, bowls, and foot forms, the ''plain stem'' is very much a collector''s favourite.
This is a particularly fine example with a combination of engraving and
...moulding and a folded foot. Elegance and strength.
